We got this last year for our sons for Christmas! It is an awesome starter kit, actually comes with a throne. We purchased the Zildjan hi-tops/cymbals that were on sake last year and have since added a cowbell, and several different kinds of drumsticks, mostly Vic Firth. Best wishes to you on this fun purchase!! Rock on!!

All you need is the cymbals as far as having a complete set, since it comes with the throne and drumsticks. You might want to add another pair of drumsticks, always good to have some extra in case they break.

Mine did not come with a drum throne (seat), and I wasn't expecting it. I bought the Cannon UP197 Drum Throne $27.55 that was recommended on the site and also some sticks. As a warning I don't think this throne wont hold up to heavier people using it. It did come with some cheap sticks to get you started. There are a few types of thrones out there. The more expensive ones are heavy duty or more cushion depending on your needs. The cheap $29 they recommended has held my kid and holds the instructor or myself if that helps. Still everyone that sees it or plays the drums thinks it's an outstanding deal. Mine did not come with a drum throne (seat), and I wasn't expecting it.

Yes it is included. It is actually quite functional. I was in the local Sam Ash yesterday and they had a dozen kits of different colors for $388. I suggest going online to all the big music outlets and getting the lowest price and then going to Musicians Friend and have them match it. when you get some cash after the kit buy yourself some Evans 360 clear batter heads all around and you will hear a different set of drums. I muffled the kick drum with a towel and that thing kicked a--. I just bought a new set of Tama Starclassic BB Vintage Marine Pearl and will be putting a video up on snakepit456 channel on You Tube along with my other drum videos,I have a link somewhere on my original comment that will take you to the Sonor video Good luck!!!

Your best bet is to get a small 'bedroom amp" such as the Fender Frontman 10 (It's a very nice inexpensive amplifier). You will also need an instrument cable (to plug the guitar into the amp). A guitar tuner such as a Snark is alway good to have on hand as well as a package of picks. Other than that a guitar strap and perhaps a gig bag to store it in are worthwhile as well.

Other than an amp,guitar, 9 volt battery, and patch cords nothing else required. I bought this for my husband and he LOVES it!

The built in speakers are pretty good but if he is an audiophile you'd probably want to get some external speakers to hook up to it.

This is more of our preference, as we want to simulate/set up a full set of drum set. We ordered the additional cymbal pieces from Pyle-Pro, they shipped the components from a PED02 model.

You need a 1/4 inch adapter which you can find on Amazon for under ten bucks and then any headphone set will work....this is by far the best drum set imaginable for kids playing and learning

It comes with everything pictured. The 4 toms, snare and a kick pad make it a six piece kit. I would recommend a Roland set overall!!!

The "throne" as it is referred to in a drum set (seat) "is" included so you don't have to worry about purchasing one. It's not the best quality throne but is good enough for a child as they are not as heavy as an adult. Hope this helps.

I think it would be ok. I bought it for a 6yo boy. The quality is more than a toy but less than a real drum set. A little but of a pain to put together I hope this helps

Yes, the stool comes with the set. The drums sound good, better than expected, but the cymbal is pretty lame. My grandson loves it (birthday present) and so do his sisters!

No! Only the accessories: music stand, basket for drumsticks. No pads included or pedal!

Depends on what he's looking for... It had a headphone jack so as long as his monitor or tv whatever he is playing on has a headphone jack it will work or you can always buy a mix amp as well

Hello, The Alesis set is absolutely complete. It even includes drum sticks. That's why I bought it. If you need more specific data check out Alesis.com. Drum on dude!

Sticks, bells, drum pad, and case. I had the same question originally and after a couple of calls a better list of information was sent. VERY PLEASED with the set. One thing you should know the drum sticks were a step up from a beginners level so I did have to purchase another set from Amazon..$7.50 We saved over $250.00 purchasing it this way vs. purchasing it though the representative that came to the school. Hope that helps!

The set I got came with everything in the picture except one of the tom pads and one of the cymbal pads. The kick pedal, hi hat pedal, rack, control module, 3 cymbal pads, snare pad and 3 tom pads were included. It even came with drumsticks, drum key and headphones.
